I'm hosting a fundraising tournament and trying to figure out the maximum number of players I can accept into the tournament. Here are the conditions:
1.) 14 courts
2.) 1 day, 12-14 hours.
3.) Format - Doubles Mens and Womens (No mixed). Round robin, double elimination (back draw).
4.) Divisions - Two for men and two for women.
5.) Scoring - First to 11, by 2.
I have total flexibility to adjust these parameters, except numbers 1 and 2.
We are naturally trying to maximize the number of participants for the charity. i've considered modifying the scoring by reducing the score to 9 or even 7, only winning by 1 to win game, etc.
Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!!
